Healthy Living Festival: Free Screenings, Activities and More at Detroit’s Public Health Week

During Detroit’s Public Health Week, residents can receive free health screenings and participate in various activities aimed at promoting a healthy lifestyle. Hosted by the Detroit Health Department, the event runs from April 1 to April 6 and does not require appointments, IDs, or health insurance to participate. The department is collaborating with Detroit police precincts, recreation centers, and other community partners to facilitate the screenings and activities.

The theme for this year is “Centering and Celebrating Culture in Health.” Residents can take advantage of various free health screenings such as checks for blood pressure, glucose, cholesterol, and kidney function, HIV and syphilis testing, fitness classes, CPR training, Narcan training and kit distribution, mental health makeovers, lead screenings, and a men’s panel discussion called “Cuts and Conversations.”

Events will be held at the Detroit Health Department, Detroit police precincts
